Throughout the world, biopics make for
great, classic films. Bollywood has finally
warmed up to this idea and many of the
biopics have done well in Bollywood. Some
of the examples are Paan Singh Tomar,
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Dangal, Manjhi The
Mountain Man, M S Dhoni The Untold Story,
Jodhaa Akbar etc. Aamir Khan meanwhile is
all set to work on a film called Salute, based
on Indian astronaut Rakesh Sharma.
And now reports state that one more biopic
is being planned and interestingly, it stands
out as it's a female oriented one. The biopic
in question is of Gunjan Saxena, India's first
woman combat aviator. The rights of the
biopic have been acquired by Karan Johar's
Dharma Productions and the film is
expected to go on floors next year
hopefully. Nothing has been decided as to
who will direct or who will play the coveted
part.
For those who don't know, Gunjan Saxena
is a celebrated war hero. She went all guns
blazing into the heart of the war zone
during the India-Pakistan 1999 war in
Kargil and emerged victorious. She had
flown her Cheetah helicopter in extremely
hostile terrain to retrieve injured soldiers in
the Kargil War. Moreover, she air-dropped
vital supplies to troops at higher points in
the Dras and Batalik sectors. Interesingly,
Gunjan Saxena's father and brother were in
the Army and in 1994, she became one of
the 25 young women who formed the first
batch of women IAF trainee pilots.

I hope Deepika lands this. I don't know if she has anything after Padmavati but this looks so promising.
